“I Care 4 U”
Aaliyah

Director: LIttle X
I have to ask, why bother? Seriously, this has to be the worst Aaliyah music video ever, ever, ever made. This isn’t Aaliyah’s fault though because she was already dead at the time, it’s director Little X’s fault for not coming up with something …

Nothing Else Matters, the second ballad on Metallica’s self-titled record, is another one of the stronger songs in this record in my opinion.

Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill, has quite the catchy little title. I like that! In fact, that was the first thing that I really liked about this CD. The second thing that I really liked was the presentation of the sound on the tracks. Alanis Morissette has a …

Six years after releasing 2 phenomenal hardcore-packed EP’s, “Rudimentary Peni” and “Farce”, Rudimentary Peni released “Death Church”, one of the darkest, gloomiest, bleakest punk records ever pressed and by far their most solid release to date.
